They responded to the statements of Njz.
On March 7, 2025, Njz I had their first hearing with I love beyond the dispute of the validity of their exclusive contract. One of the statements made by Njz was that Ador’s actions caused sabotage to their reputation.
During a musical show in Japan, they wanted to wear black
At the time, the members tried to wear commemorative ribbons on stage in Japan, but Hybe blocked them, saying that it could cause a problem with the Japanese transmission station.
However, after confirming with the Japanese transmission station, they revealed that there was no problem. In the end, Hanni quickly made ribbons before going on stage Subsequently, we saw other Hybe artists wear commemorative ribbons. If the debtors had listened to the creditors, we would have been a critical goal. This is proof that creditors are damaging the debtor’s reputation behind them.

On the same day, Ador said this was false.
We would like to clarify how disinformation about mourning ribbon is spreading. There is no reason why the company prevents artists from wearing a mourning ribbon. At the time, Hybe was conducting a complete review not only for Newjeans, but also for all the artists of the label as regards the use of mourning ribbons and the way they would have been worn. Considering the different conditions of transmission in Japan compared to Korea, we informed any label that previous coordination was needed with the transmission stations. In addition, we coordinated in advance with the issuers regarding subtitles and MC comments, explaining why wearing the tape in mourning. During this process, all the artists expressed their intention of wearing the tape and we also intended to provide the same tape in Newjeans. However, since they expressed their desire to wear the ribbon they had prepared alone, we respected their decision and was finalized accordingly.
– I love
